EDIT : don't need to buy a OS . Saves me about 100 bucks. And I am now using cisco's build atm . Still looking out for good tips and deals tho .

Hello I am trying to build a desktop pc that has The cheapest parts to get the job done on a tight budget of about 350-450 And play league of legends at 60 fps no problem.
what I have already is - 1920/1080 monitor , mouse , OS ,keyboard and other small stuff -.

What I already have in my shopping cart that I really like - Hitachi 1tb HDD , Intel Pentium dual core 3.2 ghz - price of that = 110

Stuff I want that's overkill or to exspensive I need help changing - Intel asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard (120$) , GeForce gtx 750 ( 125$ ) , seasonic 650w gold ( 80$ ) -

And the biggest problem I have is the case ...I just want a case that has atleast 3 usb and one of them being a 3.0 usb and ofc support for audio and Mic .
all I could find is this " dyi gamemax bk black full tower " for about 80 and that price kills me .

last part I need help deciding on is should I go with the 8gb memory or just 4Gb?

lastly , here is my Conditions.
the power to play league of legends at 60fps easily .
GeForce/nvidia gpu.
Intel motherboard.
Preferably on newegg , I can make exceptions on that tho.
Please help me on what ever you can in this long list , thank you !

My couple recommendations are not using Hitachi drive and use either Seagate or Western Digital. I've seen more bad hitachi drives then anything else in the years fixing computers.

Western Digital - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339

Seagate - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840


You don't need 650 watt power supply, a 500 watt will suffice.

I would probably upgrade to quad core processor with 8 gb of ram. Also upgrade to gtx 750 ti video card.

Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128607

cpu - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116895

I don't think any new computer should only have a dual core processor when most games require a quad core anymore. If you have to, save up some more money.
 
how about this?

close

@cisco
If your sure that can play league at 60 fps smoothly , then I agree with all but 1 or 2 . The gpu isn't nvidia/geforce ...I really want that . Please find a gpu that'd nvidia/geforce.

The case isnt 3 usb slots...But I guess I might have to give up on that soon .

But other than that , it looks great , thank you !
 
@jhonb35
I already have a 4000 bucks pc at home , but I'm gonna be far away for a long time at my gf's .so instead of risking my pc breaking in shipment , I'm just building a pc just for league . sadly my bf4 and or far cry might have to wait til I get home .
Also I haven't gamed in almost 3 months and I can't wait any longer x.x

What is your budget?
it doesn't matter what you want if you can't afford it.


this $500 machine with quad core & GTX 750ti would probably do the tricks. But the intel g3258 list would offer you greater upgrade ability in future.

I tried to stop it at 450 ...But I might have a way to pull in a extra 100-200....might , so I can make my limit 500 . I hope that helps and is reasonable to work with .

Oh , also...there was a lot of catches that made the 460 price tag go up a lot from the sites tool you used like in-store pickup and cash after rebate
 
Where do you live?

An APU build like a 7850K has no problems with LoL at ultra using its iGPU. If you live next to a microcenter then that's probably a no brainer since you can get a CPU+MB bundle for $120.
 
@beers
well I Google mapped it and it's over 2 hours away from my location .... That's hard since believe it or not we have no car .=/
I really wish I could live near a micro center.
 
Cisco's first build is great, AMD is way better at that price point. I have the same CPU and less ram, and a pretty similar GPU, and get over 60 FPS on maxed settibgs, with no shadows
 
Ok guys , I will try out Cisco's build in my shopping cart and see how much it cost and double check a few things . Btw cisco case is perfect if it fits everything.!

The 750 Ti and the R7 260X are quite evenly matched I think.

The Radeon may be a tad faster.

thank you very much for your input , for a tiny speed loss I will take the gtx 750 . It just feels so reliable And easy .
 
even better

You can see the 260X vs the 750 Ti here: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1044?vs=1130

Make sure you read whether higher or lower is better for each benchmark!

The cards are very evenly matched and I would also take the GeForce for the drivers since the cards are so similar. ;)

Exactly , those drivers are worth it . And I can still manage to get 60 fps on bf4 so I'm super happy !

Well I'm 90 percent done with my build , price is a little steep but it should be worth it .
